Sorry - Still living on borrowed time festival and commemorative bridge walk
To kick off, ANTaR is partnering with the National Sorry Day Committee in commemorative events in NSW and the ACT during National Reconciliation Week. If you are in Sydney on 29 May, there will be a commemorative walk to mark the tenth anniversary of Corroboree 2000 and the handing over of the Australian Declaration Towards Reconciliation. This will take place along the eastern pathway of the Sydney Harbour Bridge beginning at 10am (you need to register). Following this, there will be an all day festival and concert in First Fleet Park featuring Lola Lovina, Street Warriors, Jimmy Little and the Stiff Gins. The theme for this event is "Sorry. Still Living on Borrowed Time".
